A couple of links for your perusal today. First, here’s a link to a list of bigfoot sightings that describe various behaviors observed. It is extensive and painstaking, and well worth your time.

Next, an article that explains how scientists have finally shown quantum effects present in objects large enough to be seen.

Does Schrödinger’s cat really exist? You bet. The first ever quantum superposition in an object visible to the naked eye has been observed.

Aaron O’Connell and colleagues at the University of California, Santa Barbara, did not actually produce a cat that was dead and alive at the same time, as Erwin Schrödinger proposed in a notorious thought experiment 75 years ago. But they did show that a tiny resonating strip of metal – only 60 micrometres long, but big enough to be seen without a microscope – can both oscillate and not oscillate at the same time. Alas, you couldn’t actually see the effect happening, because that very act of observation would take it out of superposition.

As I go through my reading I may find some more goodies, which I’ll add below.

AND here’s one already. You will have seen this on Cryptomundo I’m sure (which is where I found it) but it’s so cool I want to put it here too:

UPDATE: Here’s a link to Regan Lee’s Frame 352 that dishes dirt on a recent MonsterQuest episode.
